The Grill is made in China, however, the heart and soul of the grill (the computer) is here in the USA. The powder coat is also in the USA and the final assembly along with quality control takes place at the Grill facility in Georgia.
@@LouisatRshackBBQ excellent build quality! The grill chamber is insulated and they use the Savannah Stoker controller. They recently upgraded to their own QueView wifi controller. I don't think it gets as hot as our old GMG but definitely better plus 100% built in MO. It keeps withing a 1 or 2 for low n slow.
Recteq has the excellent customer service. Mine was damaged in shipment (lower shelf was destroyed). I called and they sent me a new one. This past winter I knocked mine over. After laying in the snow all winter, I finally lifted it up. The only thing was a small hole in the cover. I sent them an email thanking them for building such a sturdy grill. I mentioned the cover in my email, and they sent me a new one. Amazing!
Thank you for watching. I have had nothing but great experience when call recteq customer service. The cover for the 700 fits beautifully but is a pain to get on and off
My only complaint is your pizza choice! Fruit should never be on pizza sir ! Lol Otherwise awesome video my friend, you may have convinced me to go recteq. The fiance said I could buy one for our wedding party! She's a keeper I think lol
Thank you for watching. I did. I have been cooking the pizza from Papa Murphy’s for 15 minutes on the paper pan it comes with - then taking it off of it and setting the pizza right on the grates for about 5 minutes- this helps brown up the crust
I wated a RecTeq 700, but the shipping to England turned out to be a big problem. My choices were limited by shipping to about 7 or 8 choices of grills. So I researched, and went with the PitBoss DB550G as a temp until I could get a RecTec. The store I bought it from is looking into amking a connection with RecTeq 700 and bringing RecTeq to England, so I may not have too long wait. In the meantime, I'll make do with what got. I enjoyed the video. Thanks
I just recently bought an RT590 and was on the fence between Recteq ND Traeger, I was lucky enough to visit my local Home Depot and they had a Traeger there, I was not impressed with their build quality. The body and lid were light as were their grates. The grates were light as well and enameled, I've had problems with smokers in the past with enameled surfaces, they always seem to chip and rust. After feeling the difference between the two brands, there is no question Recteq win in build quality, hands down. The only thing I would like to see is an equivalent app, I think Traeger spent their money on the functionality of their app side usability, where Recteq just gives you the basics, just enough to keep an eye on the temps.
Great customer service. I picked one up for free because the guy I got it from couldn’t get it to temperature. I called customer service and they diagnosed the problem as a bad auger motor. Sent me a new one for free and now it works great.
I just bought the 590 and now am waiting for the arrival. Being a beer can collector . . . . I smiled at the Ranier beer. Some of the most valuable flat-top cans are Ranier cans. One day I would love to try one.
Thank you for watching- I think you will enjoy your 590. I keep an eye out for old Rainier stuff and hope to add a couple old cans to my collection of Rainier stuff.
Thank you for watching. My opinion is there is a pellet grill for every budget and family cook size. Even the lower end price pellet grills will make amazing food. Just figure out what types and size of cooks and what is your budget and go from there.
Thank you for watching. Keep in mind I had been researching and watching videos on Rec Tec’s for quite sometime before I bought mine as well as had a few friends who had them that I went and checked out before pulling the trigger.
Thank you for watching. Haha Rainier is suitable for just about anything. Might have to drink a few more to reach that point where you say - yep good choice. Happy grilling
Thank you for watching. The 590 is a good model and design. I just wanted more cooking space so I went with the 700. ( then they came out with the BFG but I don’t think I could convince my wife that I need another one).
I bought a Traeger in November of 2018, nothing but trouble with it. It won't maintain a high temperature turns off on it's own. Replaced controller. Still isn't dependable. Taking it back to home depot soon. Really bummed!
Thank you for watching. I liked my Traeger and never really had a problem with mine. I have a earlys 1990's T still but need to get it all cleaned up. I love the Rec Tec and its PID controller. I do feel they are built better than the T's these days
Did you leave the cardboard round under the pizza when you put it into the RT700? It looks like you did. The pizza looked real floppy and the bottom didn't look like it browned and got crispy.
Thank you for watching. Yes I did leave the baking sheet that comes with the papa Murphy’s pizza. Next time I will remove the pizza after 10 minutes and let it finish cooking - this should crisp up the crust better.
Awesome video. Just ordered one myself and am awaiting it in the mail. Was wondering where you got that disposable bucket insert for the drippings? Around the 12 minute mark.
I know it’s hard to do a exact review on products but there is a difference between a old style of Traeger vs the new ones. Better controls. Plus this is a pro model. I’d compare Ironwood vs a rectec. That’s the comparison I want to see
The only thing different about this grill is the additional option of the competition cart (lower half cart with front shelf). It's not a "pro-model", he just added the comp cart to his purchase. The RT-700 comes with everything he reviewed. There is a difference between old Traeger's vs the new ones other than the controls, I think the older ones were made better, and their customer service used to be good. I've been doing a lot of research on pellet smokers, my next purchase will be the RecTeq. There are some good videos out there, and I know what I am sharing is from RecTeq, but it's the side by side you were looking for... th-cam.com/video/WgtTQ6yVBWY/w-d-xo.html
@@LouisatRshackBBQ Yes they do. My son bought one of the new Camp Chef's and I am jealous. I have a Traeger and his Camp Chef is a MUCH better grill. No question which I would buy.
Thank you for watching. I really believe you will like the rec Tec a lot better. I will admit when I 1st used my RT 700 I thought something was wrong because the fan kept coming on and off but that is how it maintains such a even temp.
I've been looking at smokers for a few months and rec tec seem to be the real deal. Traegers are a joke with lots of problems, but Weber are coming out with a smoker very soon. I'm on the fence for a rec tec, just have to see how the weber goes, but rec tec has sold me for there 700.
Thank you for watching. The RT 700 is really good and I know quite a few ppl who have just bought the rec Tec controller and put it on their Pitboss. The new Weber fire smoke looks pretty cool and I like the way they set up the Auger. I am a little skeptical to the flavorizer bars rather than a full heat shield drip pan as I could a potential for a grease fire if not cleaned regularly. Also in what videos I have seen - I have yet to see a real controller in use. With that said- I am a Weber guy at heart- I would wait and see some cooks once their backyard guys start using them -- just my opinion though.
Check these out. Will make the decision easier. Both within last 3 days or so. th-cam.com/video/d23GYKYdIng/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Js1yUaXOa_o/w-d-xo.html
I had a Traeger for about 3 years and a half myself enjoyed the cooks customer service was decent, but wasn’t to thrilled with having to replace the lid and the part that connected to the barrel twice so I looked into REC TEC and bought one and haven’t looked back since! Don’t get me wrong Traeger was a good smoker but night and day comparison between them and REC TEC even the newer Traegers with their new controllers on it still less quality.
@@LouisatRshackBBQ after watching Longmire I wanted to try it but cant find it anywhere in New Mexico. Funny since most of it was filmed here, including the railyard where I work from season 2. Thanks for the response
Dortch3 thank you for watching. Haha that’s what the wife thinks there is actually soda in the soda machine. Boy I would say you would be happy with either as I haven’t heard many complaints about a yoder or Rec Tec. Might look at square foot cooking space vs price and see which fits your budget and gives you the most cooking real estate
Excellent review Louis. Those Rec Tecs are built like tanks. Strong but sophisticated enough to drop a round 1000 meters into a one meter circle lol. Stanley will be a valued member of your family for years to come I’m sure. Can’t wait for him to meet Angus! I’ll drop that sear kit off today. Cheers brother! 🍻
GT’s Barbeque thank you Gary - I am looking forward to testing out the seat plates. Love how the PID controls stay right where you set it with no crazy temp. swings. #Beerthursdays
Very nice job going over the RT info, and salute to your Traeger. I can see me eventually getting one. Nice pizza. So JAXX started his career making pizzas. Cool. Now lets see what Stanley can do with some real meat. Have a great weekend. About time to open the pool.
Great Review Louis ... Stanley is built like a tank and I really like that competition cart on there .... That pizza looked dame good too .. We used to have a papa Murphy's but it just closed one day with out any notice sucks because we really enjoyed there pizzas .. Great Job
You're over a year in with this grill, any updates? Still satisfied with your purchase? I'm looking at getting rid of my Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker and get into pellets, and this is a leading contender!
Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que love your videos on the Bullseye Ken. ( funny thing I just acquired a early 1990’s roll top Traeger- needs a good cleaning but American made).
Steven Thompson thank you for watching - I found the magnet on eBay - also check-out pitboss.com and go to their accessories- apparel and then page down - they have some pretty cool ones also.
Thank you for watching- I never said it was the best. I said the quality and customer service was better than Traeger. Material doesn’t lie - stainless steel is better than coated steel. You are more than welcome to do a side by side comparison yourself though
Thank you for watching. Papa Murphy’s take and bake pizzas come on a sheet that is designed to be cooked on - it helps protect the crust from being overcooked.
The Real Joey B I looked at the Timberline and liked everything about it other than the controls on the right side :: I am left handed and like em on the left. Thank you for watching
Young Padawan AND the steel in the Traeger still sucks. They may have made it bigger, but the PID and the steel are still way below the quality of the RecTec.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I've had my trusty Vision Grills Kamado for for 6 years. Cooking multiple briskets has made me want to take the leap to Rec Tec!
Nice new grill LT. It’s got a lot of things I’ll be looking for when I’m ready to get a new pellet grill. Nice pizza you cooked on it. FYI that’s ham not Canadian bacon lmao
Thank you for watching. Here in Washington state the Rainier beer “R” is iconic as the space needle. If you want to research it - type in rainier beer tv adds. Enjoy
Jay G. Thank you for watching. I agree that it would be nice to put your hands on a unit before ordering one - thankfully I have some buddies that had them and was able to check out before buying.
Maybe you need to rewatch the video - pellet grills are designed to do the same thing- the difference is in the quality of the components and the company behind it and that is the comparison and reasons why I went with Rec Tec. By the way I still own a Traeger but it is from 1992.
Greenid Guy go back and listen- it is through the video - better PID controller, double the pellet hopper size, the cook chamber is stainless steel, optional heavy duty cart and it has a light -- all things Traeger does not have. You are someone who obviously needs to stay inside the lines when coloring since you have a hard time understanding when explained. I do appreciate you watching and hope this helps you.
jbsc10 thank you for watching. Although I recommend the RT700 and have had no issues since I bought it - the timberline is a nice grill/smoker - if memory serves me right - I got the rt700, upgraded comp cart and a cover for the same price of the Timberline - something to consider.
You have no complaints about the Traeger..... no issues.....great food. And it took you only 6 minutes to finally start to talk about it the damn thing. “ That was the end of me needing to watch your videos.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I felt it was important to let you all know that I buy all my grills and am not a sponsored salesman like so many on TH-cam. If that is what you want then enjoy the other videos on YT.
Thank you for Watching. There are definitely some neat design features in the new Weber pellet grill. It does sound like they haven’t finished the final design / mechanics of the controller yet. You may want to hold off until units have been released and tested and any bugs fixed before purchasing one. Just my opinion
Thank you for watching. I know - isn’t it amazing how many people actually got something good out of this video? Don’t forget to subscribe and run the bell so you can watch my next masterpiece
Awe,,, man... I was really thinking of getting one. That’s a hard one to do. A guy I work with was telling about this one that he just bought, but he told me it was made right here in the 🇺🇸.

Great beer choice
Did you notice an increase in smoke flavor?
why i went with req tec over traeger: Its about 10x better
Set playback speed to 2. Thank me later
Thank you for watching
I was just about to turn it off and 8 minutes in I saw your comment to set the speed. Sooooo glad I did.
Nailed it
Thanks
😂😂😂😂
That hopper looks like the same size as what’s on the BFG2500. What’s the stated smoking time for a full hopper?
Thank you for watching. The stated hopper is 40 pounds
You buy a brand new smoker, and the 1st thing you do is a pizza, with PINEAPPLE! SICK

The Grill is made in China, however, the heart and soul of the grill (the computer) is here in the USA. The powder coat is also in the USA and the final assembly along with quality control takes place at the Grill facility in Georgia.
Thank you for watching and your input. They are more superior ( in my opinion) than the Traegers built today.
Recteq has top shelf 1950,s customers service. Very impressive
Thank you for watching. I do like their customer service with little I have had to call about. The grill has been a workhorse for me
I was on the fence with Rec Teq. Ended up buying a Smokin Brothers Premier Plus 30.

I got turned off by the used car sales vibe too… still buying a rec teq though.
Thank you for watching. I have talked to Ray on the phone and he is a really nice guy - even though there is that vibe
My only complaint is your pizza choice!
Fruit should never be on pizza sir ! Lol
Otherwise awesome video my friend, you may have convinced me to go recteq.
The fiance said I could buy one for our wedding party!
She's a keeper I think lol
I thought that was a made up beer for Longmire.
Thank you for watching, Rainier beer has been a thing here locally ever since I have been around. Longmire definitely helped bring back its popularity
Great video. So is the competition cart worth the extra money?
Thank you for watching. My opinion it is worth the extras money - this moves around so easy and feels very stable
Does the inside light also turn on control panel light
Thank you for watching- no the control panel is always lit up when you power on the controller- there is a separate switch for the light inside.
Did you cook that pizza with cardboard underneath? Just curious. I thought it would have caught fire or something.

My rec tec stampede has performed flawlessly. If and when it needs to be replaced, I won’t hesitate to buy rec tec again. They are Awesome!
Thank you for watching. I am glad I made the switch. My problem is I have to many cookers to play with and don’t use my rec Tec as much as I should
I have been debating with myself which brand to invest in (these are expensive!). I am leaning towards Recteq. Still not sure.

The Rec Tec is far superior. Traeger doesn’t hold temps as well, smaller hooper size, no comp cart option, and customer service sucks.
Young Padawan AND the steel in the Traeger still sucks. They may have made it bigger, but the PID and the steel are still way below the quality of the RecTec.
pizza stone ...for grill.
Just got mine today! Hopefully it works great.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I am sure you are going to love it. What do you think you will smoke on it 1st?
@@LouisatRshackBBQ Chicken wings!
Both grills are made in China. Too bad.
Thank you for watching. Yes it is but there is a definite difference with the quality of the two
They’re both made in China.
Thank you for watching - yes unfortunately not many are made in the states that are in a backyard bbq budget
Looks nice just wish was not made in China but unfortunately that's the world we live in
That is not pizza. Cook some meat
Thank you for watching.
Lost me at made in China, sorry
Thank you for watching. I agree but unfortunately most of them are made overseas these days
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I've had my trusty Vision Grills Kamado for for 6 years. Cooking multiple briskets has made me want to take the leap to Rec Tec!
Julius McLinko thank you for watching. We recently got a Kamado and have enjoyed learning it .
Julius I have a vision and am looking at rec tec. Temp control on the vision is difficult. Gets away and gets really hot really fast.
Hey Louis...RecTecOn!!!
Biggs' Home Cookin' thank you Chris
Rec Tec customer service and response to questions is definitely way above the competition from my experience so far!
DYKENSFAM thank you for watching. I have to agree - they have Been great to deal with.
Nice new grill LT. It’s got a lot of things I’ll be looking for when I’m ready to get a new pellet grill. Nice pizza you cooked on it. FYI that’s ham not Canadian bacon lmao
Paul’s Q Thanks Paul .. So as a Canadian do you ever say “Honey - wanna go out for American food tonight?” Lol . Love your Pitboss cooks.
whats the big deal with this guys beer?..weird
Thank you for watching. Here in Washington state the Rainier beer “R” is iconic as the space needle. If you want to research it - type in rainier beer tv adds. Enjoy
You lost me at MADE IN CHINA
Thank you for watching. There are some great pellet smokers made in the USA as well
I saw the hat. When you grabbed a Rainier, I hit subscribe!
Thank you for watching. Nothing wrong with a rain-dog every now and then
Rec Tec needs to get some dealers. I don't trust mail order!
Jay G. Thank you for watching. I agree that it would be nice to put your hands on a unit before ordering one - thankfully I have some buddies that had them and was able to check out before buying.
That's why I went with a Green Mountain. I wanted to put my hands on the Rec Tec.
I’m 9 minutes in. You have my attention.
Pizza came out great on your new toy :)
The rec tec is a really good looking cooker. Welcome Stanley
Lasse's Food and Barbecue thank you Lars. Looking forward in using it more.
Ummmm...I thought this was going to be a comparison as why you made your choice.
Sorry, but you failed.
Maybe you need to rewatch the video - pellet grills are designed to do the same thing- the difference is in the quality of the components and the company behind it and that is the comparison and reasons why I went with Rec Tec. By the way I still own a Traeger but it is from 1992.
@@LouisatRshackBBQ You never said that is why you made the choice you did...if so please state the timestamp you did so.
Greenid Guy go back and listen- it is through the video - better PID controller, double the pellet hopper size, the cook chamber is stainless steel, optional heavy duty cart and it has a light -- all things Traeger does not have. You are someone who obviously needs to stay inside the lines when coloring since you have a hard time understanding when explained. I do appreciate you watching and hope this helps you.
Looks really nice but idk I’m still leaning towards a traeger timberline
jbsc10 thank you for watching. Although I recommend the RT700 and have had no issues since I bought it - the timberline is a nice grill/smoker - if memory serves me right - I got the rt700, upgraded comp cart and a cover for the same price of the Timberline - something to consider.
Awesome on Mr. Cardenas
Bullloney crap...
Thank you for watching - I really appreciate it.
Would you care to elaborate?
The new Traeger isn’t even the same as the old Traeger you sold.
Wish Traeger had stainless steel and a heavy duty front and side shelf.
Thank you for watching. I agree there is a definite deference in the quality of the Traegers today.
You have no complaints about the Traeger..... no issues.....great food. And it took you only 6 minutes to finally start to talk about it the damn thing. “ That was the end of me needing to watch your videos.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I felt it was important to let you all know that I buy all my grills and am not a sponsored salesman like so many on TH-cam. If that is what you want then enjoy the other videos on YT.
Cant wait see new webber pettet grill vs rec tec
Thank you for Watching. There are definitely some neat design features in the new Weber pellet grill. It does sound like they haven’t finished the final design / mechanics of the controller yet. You may want to hold off until units have been released and tested and any bugs fixed before purchasing one. Just my opinion
They say be out in February around tax time lol. Seen couple good video out there
10 min of 'bull s' to open up with, you just ramble on... Can't believe I had to fast forward through the whole thing
Bad video posting
Thank you for watching. I know - isn’t it amazing how many people actually got something good out of this video? Don’t forget to subscribe and run the bell so you can watch my next masterpiece
Made in China! 😳. I thought they were 100% 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 made?
Unfortunately not anymore. Thank you for watching
Awe,,, man... I was really thinking of getting one. That’s a hard one to do. A guy I work with was telling about this one that he just bought, but he told me it was made right here in the 🇺🇸.
